Xbmc & samba on wireless bridge

[cbaughman]

I made the switch to Ubuntu for my media sever this weekend and so far almost everything is working. I have a second XBMC in the bedroom connected via a wireless bridge. However so far it can't see the media sever. I'm wondering if it's a setting in the /etc/samba/smb.conf that needs to be changed.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Here is a copy of that file. Media sever is ip 192.168.1.2, gateway for sever is 192.168.1.1, gatway for bridge 192.168.0.1 and the bedroom xbmc is 192.168.0.9

I have a HTPC that can connect wirelessly to my main Video server. I have the box running Ubuntu 9.10 and have it set to auto start XBMC. The problem is that the wireless connection is setup after XBMC is already loaded. I think that XBMC is not aware of the connection as a result and my Samba browsing fails. However if I restart XBMC and try to browse it works perfectly. I am currently searching for a way to make sure the wireless connection is up and running before XBMC starts to make sure that I don't have to constantly restart XBMC every time I turn on the HTPC.
